Everything Is Humming on Confirmations of Appellate Nominees

Last week, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Eric Miller to the Ninth Circuit, and this week it has confirmed on successive days the nominations of Allison Jones Rushing to the Fourth Circuit (on Tuesday), Chad A. Readler to the Sixth Circuit (yesterday), and Eric E. Murphy also to the Sixth Circuit (today).

Republican leader Mitch McConnell also filed cloture motions today on the nominations of Paul B. Matey to the Third Circuit and of Neomi Rao to the D.C. Circuit, so I gather that those nominations will receive final floor votes next week.
